In 3 bullets, summarize why this product or service is different from the competition and deserves recognition:

• AlienVault USM is designed and priced to ensure that mid-market organizations can effectively and affordably detect and defend themselves from emerging threats. Small to mid-sized businesses are at the greatest risk of cyberattack primarily because of limited staff and resources; small IT teams with limited budgets, staff and security expertise especially benefit from USM’s unified console that enables simplified deployment and integrates threat intelligence to delivers maximum security visibility.

Users can effectively monitor the 5 key security capabilities that are integrated into the platform, while OTX data enables organizations of all sizes to benefit from the power of real-time, crowd-sourced threat intelligence. By combining these essential security controls into a single platform, USM saves customers the time, cost, and complexity involved in purchasing, configuring, and integrating disparate data feeds and management consoles.

• USM is designed for easy deployment and intuitive operation. We have done all of the work of integrating USM’s range of capabilities into a single, easy-to-use interface, so that customers can start using it to detect threats to their systems from day one. USM is offered in a range of configurations to make it easy to deploy and leverage in ANY environment, and is designed and priced to ensure that mid-market organizations can effectively detect and defend themselves from emerging threats.

USM goes well beyond SIEM, providing users with five essential security capabilities in a single console: asset discovery, vulnerability assessment, behavioral monitoring, threat detection, and security intelligence & correlation. Designed to meet the unique security needs of small and medium-sized enterprises, USM provides a comprehensive level of visibility that enables organizations to detect emerging threats across their environment, respond quickly to possible incidents, and conduct thorough investigations. It also allows them to easily measure, manage, and report on compliance with standards like PCI, HIPAA, ISO, and more.
